Constellation, Sunrun Launch Home Solar Offering to Residential Electricity Customers

Constellation and Sunrun announced that Constellation will offer residential electricity customers in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York the opportunity to install Sunrun solar energy systems on their homes.

Additionally, BGE Home, Constellation’s home energy services provider in Maryland, will also offer its customers the opportunity to install Sunrun systems.

"This is another key step in executing Constellation’s strategy to deliver a broad set of home energy services and technologies to our residential customers to help them effectively manage their energy costs," said Bruce Stewart, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Constellation

The companies said that Sunrun will enable homeowners to install solar without the high upfront cost and complexity of ownership. The companies said that Sunrun pays for the solar installation and insures, monitors, maintains and guarantees performance of the system for 20 years. The companies said that customers purchase power generated from their Sunrun system at a rate that is less than their current electric utility rate, and can continue to receive electricity supply from Constellation if additional power, beyond what their solar energy system generates, is required.
